Maxx (band)

Maxx (band)

Maxx was a German Eurodance act who had major, albeit brief, international success in 1994.

After having already recorded a German cover version of Snow's "Informer", rapper Boris Köhler teamed up with the producer and songwriter Juergen Wind, Frank Hassas (Quickmix), David Brunner (Hitman) and Jeglitza to produce "Get-A-Way". Jeglitza moved on to other projects. Köhler, under the stage name of Gary B, performed the ragamuffin rap, and a female singer Samira Besic produced the vocals for the chorus. It was a dancefloor hit all over Europe, peaking at No. 11 at their home of Germany,[1] while entering the top-5 in the UK, Austria, Sweden and the Netherlands, the single entered the top-10 in Switzerland and Norway.[2][3] "Get-A-Way" eventually reached a Gold status in Germany for selling over 250,000,[4] and in the UK, it was certified with a Silver-certification-award for selling over 200,000 units.[5] Samira Besic, who had at the peak of Maxx's career left the act for a solo career, was replaced by Linda Meek.

The second single "No More (I Can't Stand It)" which was as successful as its predecessor, entered the top-10 in Germany, UK, Austria and Norway, while entering the top-5 in The Netherlands and Sweden.[2][6][7] The third single "You Can Get It" followed, as well as the album entitled To the Maxximum, but their success was short-lived. The fourth single "I Can Make You Feel Like" off the same album was a flop charting only in UK at No. 56,[2] and another single released in 1995 called "Move Your Body" managed to chart only in Austria peaking at No. 18 and in Finland at No.16.[8]
